Three Times is a Charm

After 3 closings we finally got one right. Friday's closing did not go, we showed up at the title company but our lender did not, in fact our mortgage banker pretty much hung us out to dry. What a drag! But yesterday it all went through and now we are in. We moved a bunch of junk over last night and it felt good. The house is sweet, you just have to look past the slanted floors to see its old school charm. Yeah we are finally home!

I started class on Tuesday also, what a big day September 4 was. I don't feel totally out of my element but don't really fit in either. I for sure am not nerdy enough for the crew I got thrown in with. Physics PhD candidates spend a large percentage of each day convincing themselves how smart they really are, uhm excuse me loser you might get the physics right but you got the rest of your world back asswards. Yes it is a total nerdfest in our Grad Office and I am guilty by association.

As part of my responsibilities as a Graduate Assistant I am teaching a College Level Algebra class and it is going to be a learning experience for us all. One interesting (OK super old) freshman got a little scared when I told the class that any math or engineering majors were in the wrong classroom. I guess he is attempting to major in some kind of engineering against the advice of the University. He told me his story and I being the unsympathetic person that I am just told him to take it one day at a time and remember it is only day one. I know the poor guy doesn't have a chance he is already freaking out. You know the old saying, there are no stupid questions, well it's not true because he asked 3 of them today alone.
